Spectrum syncs from 0% on every start

Open jjim1982 opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour or not, but on every start spectrum needs to sync from 0% (spinning icon in top right bitcoin connection).

MyNode 0.3.18, electrum server fully synced Specter 2.0.1 (MacOS)

Any comment on this? Has anyone got spectrum/specter working properly with MacOS?

my spectrum node connection on Start9 embassy is always showing sync status 0% , never changes, but tx are all correctly listed, haven't tried a fresh tx since high fees, but will test, seems like a bug.

Electrs is fully synced, also it is recognised by specter, but everytime I restart specter, soecter loses the connection to electrs

Blocktime is shown uptodate in specter.

Yes, this is expected behaviour. You won't realise until you (re-) start your specter which is usually not the case for specter running in node-implementations. However, this should be quick unless you have dozens of wallets. How many wallets do you have and how long takes the sync?

When I restart myNode for example, electrum server doesn't need to resync from scratch though? I guess spectrum doesn't have a similar persistent db structure then?

Yes, actually I have a wallet with 100+ tx and 8 more wallets. I actually gave up running Specter on this rasperry pi node with electrum since loading times where beyond my patience limit, it took way longer then using Bitcoin core connection. I am running the Start9 implementation. But with Bitcoin core connection I get this infamous key error (can't load UTXOs) with the big wallet, which is a bug ever since version 2.0, I does not have this error in version 1.14.4, so I basically gave up on specter in node implementations now.

Actually I have to mention with umbrel I have a fast server , not a pi, there I also had this key error in new specter version, but after a while the wallet loaded fine.But on rasperry pi it never loads. But on umbrel I don't have https connection, so I can't scan with my Seedsigner, using Sparrow and nunchuk now...
